That is so cool. Thanks for sharing.

I believe it. Morton, WA has a lot of racism..

You will love Port Orchard. I envy you.

Agree with this one being from Washington State and lived in Scottsdale Arizona for 12 years. It's very different. Another beautiful location.

Colorado is beautiful. Absolutely love that place for hiking.

Being from Washington State myself and after residing in Arizona and Texas, I don't recommend this move because:

1. It's hard to find a job in Seattle and live in Seattle. Cost of living in the city is too high. My daughter works in IT there and struggles to afford rent etc.

2. It's 10 times harder to find a retail job outside of Seattle where it's cheaper to live and you will deal with exhorbant competition from others wanting your job.

3. Crime is high outside of Seattle especially in Tacoma.

4. Traffic is bad

5. Washington State isn't generous with welfare. Environment goes first..

6. There's record homelessness in the area as we speak.

7. Better make sure you can handle the cold and lack of sunlight without complaining. Cold, humid, foggy, gray, mist, rain, ice, cold to the bones.

8. People are mean (based on reports from out of state people lol).

If you have family in the state or landed a decent job, I would recommend it but your situation isn't ideal.

Wow. That is so fascinating. Totally would want to live there.
